Entrevista a David Sherman (Earthride, Spirit Caravan), refere possível reunião de Spirit Caravan para 2011.

http://theobelisk.net/obelisk/2010/09/2 ... interview/

Any truth to the rumors of a Spirit Caravan reunion?

That is true. That’s very true. Me and Wino — he’s on the [Earthride] record too. He plays on the one track “Supernatural Illusion,” and he’s singing on there, and he plays a pretty crazy-ass lead. Sounds more Vitus-y. But me and him, we’ve been talking and shit, and he’s doing his Shrinebuilder and his Vitus right now, and I think he might even do another tour of his Wino thing, and I think he’s got an acoustic thing, but amongst all that stuff, I think we might be able to pull something out next year. Something might happen then.

Would you do a record or just shows?

I think we would re-release — I don’t know who’s gonna do it; that’s not confirmed — but Jug Fulla Sun never came out on vinyl, so we’d probably be backing that up. Bring that out on vinyl, and then you never know. Maybe we’ll do a song or two or something. Maybe we could work on something for the tour as well, a little EP or something. It’s just gonna take time, because obviously Wino’s real busy right now.

Novo álbum de God Dethroned, com data de lançamento anunciada para Novembro de 2010.

God Dethroned - Under The Sign Of The Iron Cross

Dutch Death Metallers God Dethroned recently finished the recordings for their sophomore new album Under The Sign Of The Iron Cross. The band's 9th album has been recorded at Soundlodge Studios in Leer, Germany.

Comments singer/guitarist Henri Sattler: "Just like with our two previous albums, we've been recording at the Soundlodge Studio's in Leer, Germany with producer Joerg Uken. Under the Sign of the Iron Cross is another concept album about World War One. Having done a concept album about this topic before didn't make it an easy job, but reading Ernst Juenger's "In Stahlgewittern" (Storm of Steel), which is his biography of his daily experiences in the trenches during the war, gave me so much inspiration that I managed to do a good job on the lyrics and I'm really satisfied with the result, but this is of course something you will have to check out for yourselves.

Musically the new album turned out to be one of the most extreme records we ever did. Nevertheless with the very recognizable God Dethroned hooks present in all the songs. Producer Joerg Uken outdid himself this time, because our new album is in my opinion the best produced album we ever had. Extremely raw, heavy, but crystal clear and super dynamic at the same time."

Under The Sign Of The Iron Cross will be released the 19th/22nd of November 2010 via Metal Blade Records in Europe and on the 23rd of November in North America.

01. The Declaration Of War
02. Storm Of Steel
03. Fire Storm
04. The Killing Is Faceless
05. Under The Sign Of The Iron Cross
06. Chaos Reigns At Dawn
07. Through Byzantine Hemispheres
08. The Red Baron
09. On Fields Of Death & Desolation

E também está para breve o novo álbum de Obscura.

Obscura - Unveil New Album Title

Progressive death metal act Obscura has unveiled the name of their forthcoming full-length as Omnivium.

Omnivium was recently recorded and now being mixed at Woodshed Studio in southern Germany with engineer V. Santura (Triptykon, Dark Fortress). The nine-track album will see an early 2011 release date. Additional album details will be made available shortly.

Obscura's Steffen Kummerer issued the following update from the studio: "Although we recorded again with our long time friend and producer V. Santura in the Woodshed Studios, the studio sessions were hard work and lots of sweat. It was for the best though since Omnivium is definitely the next step for this band."

Christian (Muenzer - guitar) recorded some outstanding solos with a new 8 finger tapping technique, Jeroen (Paul Thesseling - bass) brought his own stamp of fretless tone into the mix again, and Hannes (Grossmann - drums) recorded his heaviest session to date and broke through the 260 bpm line. Everyone brought lots of great ideas to the table and made Omnivium a truly collaborative band effort. Omnivium sounds solely like Obscura, and brings us a step closer to reaching our unique vision of progressive death metal."

Não consigo deixar de olhar para o penteado do Dani. A música é péssima.

Que têm em comum uns look alikes Eduardo mãos de tesoura, Sweeney Todd, Galder, La Roux e o Sheldon Sands do filme do grande Robert Rodriguez?
Ver em cima!

Elá, belo look!! Pouco falta para ser confundido com o puto, ou que raio é aquilo, dos Tokyo Hotel.

E a música...segue bem a evolução dos último álbuns.
